Hyrule Warriors Age Of Calamity - Tumblr Posts

Random tangent, but am I the only one pissed off at the AOC DLC? Specifically in regards to Sooga's backstory. I might actually have to go through this shit in sections, like an essay, just to break down how horribly written, not thought out, and borderline insulting it is.

1: Queer coding.

When watching the cutscenes from the base game, it's very clear that Sooga and Kohga are a lot more than just 'friends.' they act very intimate with eachother, with Sooga being the only one we see directly touch Kohga (when not in battle.) Their dialogue is also full of not only character, but equality. Kohga sasses him and snaps at him, but it's never in a demeaning, "IM THE LEADER!!!" Kind of way. If anything, their interactions feel like they're on the same playing field. They feel like they're equals, instead of just a leader and his bodyguard. Sooga makes decisions and helps Kohga with plans directly. Plus, they argue like a married couple.

The DLC's reveal of Sooga's backstory directly contrasts how they act by trying to play it off as if they had a Father&Son dynamic, when they were very obviously written to be queer codded in the base game.

2: how it affects Sooga's character.

Sooga is loyal to the Yiga. Let me repeat that.

Sooga is loyal to the Yiga.

That mentality he has is incredibly important when looking at the cutscene revealing his backstory. His actions, his motives, and his worldview all seem to lean into the fact of him being an ex Sheikah, even acknowledging that "Gannon is a force not to be trifled with" (paraphrased quote.) He sees Gannon as a terrifying figure, yet still follows the clan.

What we see in the footage directly conflicts that. If he were taken in as a child, why would he have such a complex view of Gannon? Not only that, but just looking at the geography of the map, he looks to be either in Tanagar, or gerudo, neither of which being places that a child could easily access, one being swamped with monsters, the other being barren. No Hylians live in either places, and the Sheikah even further. The closest would be the Gerudo, and I highly doubt that he's the first male gerudan in hundreds of years. It just doesn't make sense.

It also conflicts with Sooga being loyal to the Yiga, like I mentioned before. All the Yiga in the cutscene we're tormenting him, and even after Kohga showed him kindness, the Yiga still had their weapons drawn, posing themselves as a threat. Sooga would have been loyal to Kohga in that instant, as he knew that the others weren't safe. He is loyal to the Yiga, and by extension, Kohga. Not the other way around. He is a bodyguard, so of course he usually stays near Kohga, however we see him actively go out and lead the Yiga shoulders by himself.

3: overview.

In conclusion, his backstory fucking sucks. It turns the relationship between Kohga and Sooga into queerbait, and completely ruins Sooga's character. Its stupid. This might be jumbled and not very well thought out, but I'm currently fighting my off nighttime depression, sleep, and the stress hallucinations, so you can catch these fuckin hands.

It would make more sense if Kohga was a refugee Sheikah that swore allegiance to the Yiga. Just sayin. Oh, plus it would be more interesting.

SPOILERS FOR HYRULE WARRIORS: AGE OF CALAMITY

CHAPTER 7

🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺

Hands down this has got to be my favorite cut-scene out of the entire game. I know Zelda is very much a dark fantasy franchise but when playing through the main story I was not expecting to witness one of the main antagonists get mutilated and suffocated by magic and then have his corpse eaten and absorbed by a machine. I yearned for something like this since playing Twilight Princess

If I had a nickel for every time an artificial lifeform absorbed a human being and then proceeded to get a new form from the experience, I'd have two nickels...which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice

bc not gonna lie I have morbid flashbacks with watching Dragon Ball Z's Cell arc and 9 year old me had nightmares for a month...

Plot twist: both are right

There are two types of people regarding the Age of Calamity egg:

Type 1: OMG BABY EGG I’d kill for him look at it, so cute aaa—

Type 2: I HATE IT IT’LL TURN EVIL I KNOW IT I CAN SEE IT IN IT’S EYE, GET IT AWAY FROM ME AAA—

I really had to open my fucking mouth didn’t I.

Honestly the plot of age of calamity out of context sounds like a fan fiction that went off the rails but was so well written people accepted it as canon.

Nintendo writers what did you smoke

"𝑾𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏!"

Drew my top 5 favorite units from Age of Calamity, and the 5th spot goes to Revali 🦅 I love this cocky birb ❤️

It’s kinda a tie between him and Sidon, but I already have Mipha in the list so I opted to go with him! It's my first time to draw an anthro chara ever? And I think I did pretty okay (I hope) 😂

They’re the autistic4autistic couple ever

This is Mòrag and Niall's relationship to me.

Incestous love with a veneer of patriotism and duty.

They would literally die for each other, Architect bless.

"Why of course I would do anything my brother told me to do! It's my job!"

I bet Link, before he knew he had a crush on Zelda, was just like “yeah, this is how everyone feels about Princess Zelda, she’s the princess. This is the sort of admiration and love people feel toward their rulers. I am patriotic with a healthy respect for my kingdom and its leaders :)”
